The City’s Latest Hidden Gem, Saro Lounge at Pavilion Elite

Located at the 8th floor of Pavilion Elite, Saro Lounge is the newest lounge and restaurant to open its doors to the city’s eclectic mix of patrons. Whether you’re looking for an intimate escape with your closest friends, or a place to catch up with your friends and colleagues after work, Saro offers an exquisite setting for any occasion.

Saro, which is Italian for “I will”, is more than just its namesake, but also a testament to its commitment to providing guests with memorable experiences and quality service.

“Our vision for Saro Lounge is to offer our patrons a hideout within the city that isn’t just about the food and drinks, but the entire experience. An exquisite cocktail paired with flavourful dishes, complemented by eclectic tunes and a comfortable setting for you and your friends – it’s about offering a combination that elevates all five senses,” commented Kesavan Purusotman, one of the partners behind Saro Lounge.

The lounge is an embodiment of the finer things in life, boasting sophisticated wood finishing, and elegant leather seats to complement the elaborate bar showcasing a variety of premium and craft spirits. However, Saro Lounge’s architectural highlights is its state-of-the-art light feature that has been cleverly integrated into the ceiling – the first of its kind in Malaysia.

The light feature boasts an impressive multitude of configurations to suit any mood, adding to the overall ambiance of the main lounge area. Larger groups that would prefer a more private setting will be able to enjoy the comforts of Saro’s Private Room, equipped with karaoke facilities and its very own restroom.

Karaoke facilities and a Sony Playstation 4 with four controllers? That's definitely a cool and unique attraction in Saro Lounge.

With a collection fit for any discerning drinker, the bar offers a delectable range of cocktails made of the freshest ingredients and inspired by Asian flavours. Saro’s signature cocktails bring their own unique twist on the classics, with drinks such as the Saro Sour and the Rum Negroni. A refreshing favourite is the Signature Monkey 47, which combines fresh and floral flavours into a simple yet flavourful cocktail. Fruitapalooza consists of coconut rum dry shaken with dark rum and sweet & sour puree, topped up with a touch of sprite, served in a chilled glass & garnished with a fresh lemon slice while the Mischefier blends dark rum with cocoa liquor and pineapple juice, topped with a touch of angostura & garnished with cherry blossom and strawberry.
